Article 246 of the Constitution establishes the National Police Service Commission. Article 246(2) talks about the membership of the National Police Service Commission, in which the Inspector-General and the deputies are included. This means that the National Police Service Commission includes members appointed by the President, the Inspector-General and his deputies. Under Article 248 we also have the National Police Service Commission. Under Article 251(2) we have the removal of a member of any of the Chapter 15 Commissions. It provides that if anybody desires to remove a member of a Commission he or she must petition Parliament. To me, the deputies to the Inspector-General are among the members of the Commissions because the National Police Service Commission is a Chapter 15 Commission, of which the Inspector-General and the deputies are members. I, therefore, beg to oppose. Hon. Members: Do you have the numbers?"}
